You will also receive periodic email invitations to participate in web-based research surveys. Your survey responses will remain anonymous and aggregated for analysis. Your membership is sustained by continued participation in research. No fees will ever apply.

No.

There is no cost to 451 Alliance membership. Membership is sustained through valid participation in research surveys.

Members of the 451 Alliance must be adults who are willing to honestly answer online research surveys about their technology usage. Preference is given to applicants who are currently employed and influential with regard to (or knowledgeable about) technology usage at their organization. Our membership consists of executives, directors, and managers in IT and Line of Business functions in all industries around the globe.

We take your privacy very seriously. We are fully compliant with GDPR, CASL and CAN-SPAM regulations. See our Privacy Policy for more details.

Your information will not be sold to third parties, nor will we solicit you for goods or services.

The contents of your research contributions are anonymous and will be analyzed in aggregate with other responses, so your individual responses will never be attributable to you or your organization.
